I think that most people know that the first meal of the day, the breakfast, is one of the most important meals.

Homemade Tomato Salad with Mozzarella and Red Onions

A normal Danish dinner typically consist of some kind of meat, mostly pork or beef, some potatoes, pasta or rice and maybe some bread. We will not consider ourselves super healthy people however, we do try to work out on a regular basis and combined with good food we believe that we are doing alright. With regards to our eating habits we try to avoid most of all the white and carbs-packed stuff like white bread, potatoes, pasta and rice, and then replace it with food that are rich in protein and full of good nutrients.
